MAISY KAY Returns with Artful Piano Ballad 'Disguises'

Maisy Kay is the 16-year-old musical prodigy who burst onto the scene in 2015 with three dramatic and diverse single offerings ("Blood Filled Tears", "Sleep", and "Enough"), garnering attention from the likes of BlackBook who praised her "strikingly mature" musical technique and Vanity Fair who proclaimed that she "is giving Lorde a run for her money", Yahoo Music, Pop Matters and more.

Today, the UK born / LA based pianist and iron-lunged powerhouse announces details of an extended debut EP Disguises, out July 15th, and reveals the deeply personal title track via Idolator who praise the EP title track as "an uplifting and instantly memorable ballad punctuated by piano chords, strings and Kay's tender vocal delivery"

Kay co-wrote "Disguises" with friend and musician Jason Gaviati (who has since passed from cancer). She shares the track and named her debut EP after the single to honor him:

"Writing "Disguises" came about during a supremely pivotal moment in my journey as an artist and as a person, which is why I decided to name the EP after the song," she explains in an interview with Idolator. "Besides loving how the song came out, the song is very special to me due in large part to one of my co-writers, Jason Gaviati. Gavi is an incredible writer and performer who passed away last year after battling Burkitts Lymphoma. I will always remember how excited he got when we were writing this song, as it was one of his favourites that we did together. If you listen carefully, you can hear his voice on the track singing background vocals, which makes it even more meaningful. It brings constant comfort knowing I will always have a special part of Gavi right there in the song and I hope that it serves as a continued memorial to the incredible legacy that he left behind. A legacy that includes all of the people he touched and all of the incredible music he wrote.
